The surname Tao originated from the Tao Tang family of Emperor Yao, one of the Five Ancient Emperors. Hong Qi, the seventh son of Tao Tang, was the ancestor of the Tao family.
In the pre-Qin period, Pingyuan Tao was the most popular surname. From the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Han Dynasty, the Tao family never left Yuzhou and were active in the Jiyin and Pingyang areas. Talents emerged in large numbers. Tao She, the Marquis of Kaifeng in the Han Dynasty , assisted Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to conquer the world. He was granted the title of Marquis of Kaifeng by the great ancestor. He was promoted to Zuo Sima, and his son Tao Qing also assumed the title of Prime Minister.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the descendants of Qinggong moved south to Danyang, and the Tao family lived in Wu from then on. After Tao She's descendant Tao Dun, they were divided into two branches, Danyang and Xunyang. Later, they multiplied and became prominent families in Danyang and Xunyang. Looking at today's Tao family, most of them originated from Danyang and Xunyang Wang. In the peaceful and prosperous times of modern times, the descendants of the Tao family have spread widely in urban and rural areas in most provinces and cities across the country, especially in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. There are also nine descendants of Tao from ethnic minorities.
Yangyang Zhonghua, the Tao surname in the world, can be traced back to the Tao Tang family. The blood line can be traced back to the Yao and Shun periods more than 4,300 years ago. In terms of origin, it can be seen that it originally came from Dingtao, Shandong, Tang County, Hebei and Yucheng County, Henan Province, the origin can be tested. The "Hundred Family Surnames" of the Song Dynasty tied the Tao surname to the 31st person, which also shows that the Tao family has distinct characteristics in conferring the surname. The surname was conferred early, the original context was clear, and the family thrived.
Totem of the surname Tao: It is said that the word "Tao" was formed from the fired pottery vessels. The original name of pottery is Fou and pottery, which is composed of the pottery maker "狹" and the pottery "Fou". But "Fou" is composed of "Wu" and "凵". "Wu" means black bird, and "凵" means the kiln where pottery is fired. This means that the Xuanniiao people invented pottery and made pottery in this way. The merit of the surname is that the "阝" in the word Tao means the fire path of the kiln. The surname Tao is the direct descendant of the eighth surname Kunwu of the Zhurong clan of the Yandi clan of the Kuei clan, and the ancestor is the Tao Tang clan.
